BARNS FOR HORSES.
Where and How They Should be Con-
structed and Arranged.

structed and Arranged.
Horse stables should be located on
land that is high enough so it can be
well drained, the surface water carried
off rapidly. Stagnant water is very in
furious to horses. especially when it is
filled with the refuse matter from the
stable. Damp. badly ventilated stables
are fruitful source of disease, causing
fevers, coughs and trouble with the
eyes, also such affections of the legs as
scratches, grease heel, etc. Dampness
is specially liable to cause inflammation
of the throat and lungs. In such stables
good grooming and the best of care
will not ward off disease, but many all
ments may be expected to make their
appearance.
Having selected a good location for
the horse barn, it should be arranged
and built in such way as to secure the
most comfort for its occupants and con-
yenience for those who have the care
of them. As sunshine and pure air are
so essential to the good health of horses,
the barn should, if possible, be so To-
Gated as 10 have a southern exposure,
and in this way get the full benefit of
the sun.
Ventilation is most important con-
sideration in the building of barns. and
special pains should be taken to secure
the ingress of pure air and the escape
of the foul air, caused by the ammonia
that arises from the manure. This is
necessary in order to secure good
health. In arranging stable for
horses, several box-stalls should be pro-
vided. az these will be found specially
useful for mares at foaling time. for the
care of sick or lame horses, and also Cor
keeping valuable horses in during the
winter. In these there is ar oppOr-
tunity for exercise to be taf.sn when
the weather is such that horses can lot
be turned out in a lot, or driven on the
road. A welLfenced lot adjoining the
stable. with an open shed in it. will be
found very convenient, as horses that
are not in use can be TUNED out for ex-
ercise in it when the weather is NOT too

a Bird Court and Trial.

The leaves on the tree were Just
coming out, and on one of the limbs, all
in a row, sat ten or dozen little En-
glish sparrows, while on little twig
just in front and facing them sat an
other; and while the rest twittered and
bobbed their little heads at one another
he looked as if he had lost every friend
in the world. The twittering did not
stop for an instant. but continued sew
eral minutes. when suddenly one of the
little birds in the row flew up and over
to the twig where sat the forlorn-look-
ing sparrow, and taking him by the
top-knot shook him with all his might,
then let him 90 and all flew away. ]

RESTORING BREATH.
A Discovery That Will BE of Great Use to
the scientific World.

"A
the scientific World.
A miraculous surgical experiment
has been performed at Buffalo by DR..
George E. Fell. professor of physiology
at the University of Niagara. DR.. Fell
is an enthusiastic vivisectionist, and
has made a number of experiments
whereby he claims he has discovered a
means of saving human life after the
patient has taken poison. Several
weeks ago a man named Patrick Burns,
who had been on debauch, took a
large dose of morphia, and was given
up as dead. After Burns had been
unconscious for five hours, DR.. Fell was
called in. 1t had occurred to him that
if he had an artificial respiratory appar-
atus he would be able to bring back the
patient to life. He had often applied
artificial respiration to dogs and cats
at college during his lectures, to show
the action of their hearts and lungs.
Burns was poor patient, and the
physician had very little hope of being
successful. There was no pulse, and
only slight fiutter around the region
of the heart, which showed that it had
not ceased to beat. There were num-
Der of physicians present, and the
experiment was consid cred chimerica
one as far as success was concerned
An incision was made in the throat, and
respiratory tube was placed in the
trachea. The blood which oozed from
the wound was dark coffee color.
The lungs of the patient were useless,
and when air was blown into them they
were so stiff that they could not con-
tract. Artificial means were used. press
ure on the chest to expel the air and
cause the expirations. This was kept
up for fifteen minutes before any
change was noticed. The blood soon
became more arterial in color as it
came from the wound, and the face
assumed a life-like expression. The
muscles of the eyes twitched when
pressed by the finger. After time the
eyes opened, and the legs and arms
began TO move. Water was placed to
the patieut' lips and he drank greedily.
For two hours the artificial breathing
was kept up. The tube was removed,
and the wound was closed with antisep-
tic dressing. The patient, an hour
after breathing was restored, lad an
attack of delirium tremens, the result
of drinking. 1t took five men TO hold
him, aud the wound commenced to
bleed afresh. This was stopped. and
when the poison passed from the system,
after three days the respiration in
creased, and it was evident that the
patient would recover. In two weeks
he was able to go out and attend to his
business. DR.. Fell used very crude
apparatus which he employs in yivi-
section. He is now perfecting an in
strument which can be used by an
operator in such cases as the one de-
scribed. The discovery is a valuable
one, and will be of great use to the
scientific world. -Den,oresf Monthly.

TRAVELLING ABROAD.
The WagOn-lit of Europe and the Pull
man Car of America.

man Car of America.
The wagon-lt is French substitute
for Pullman sleeping-car. 1t has its adj
vantages and its disadvantages. The
'Orient express" of the grandest
vitesse known in France, at least so far
as our experience goes, of thirty-eight
miles an hour. coming through from
Constantinople to Paris in two days
and two nights picked us up at Cos, to
which station we came over branch
road from Baden-Baden in fifteen
minutes. This express train was made
up entirely of mail and baggage-car.
three wagon-lits carrying twenty-four
passengers each. and dining car. On
one side of the wagon-lit there is a mar
row alley, with doors opening into ccm-
partments. some of which are devoted
to four passengers and others to two.
In the daytime these are seen to contain
in the first case two narrow, athwart-
ship sofas, IN the latter one. At night
the cushion, serving by day for a back
rest. is triced up and converted into
a bed. The whole affair has the
appearance of an oyster-saloon pri-
vate compartments. Seclusion and
comfort are attained at great sacri-
flee of space. Two persons occupy the
whole width of the carriage and one
third more of its length than four per-
sons occupy in Pullman car. At the
same time the beds are much more mar
row. l should think that corpulent
people would partly hang over the
sides. and that a strip of them would
pass an uncomfortable night. On the
other hand, there is better air, because
of the windows in each compartment,
than in the Pullman. and there is
greater privacy. 1t is astonishing how
the cOnventiOnalities are dispensed
with in American sleeping-cars; how
gentlemen who elsewhere would not
take off their coats in the presence of
ladies, and how ladies who regard
every article of their outward makeup
as an essential part of themselves in
parlor or in the street, do not hesitate
to reduce their apparel to a minimum
when they are about to turn in.
Travelling in Germany and France,
excepting in third class cars, which,
sooth to say, are about equal to many
we call tirst-class at home, as mnch
more expensive than with us. In this
"Orient express" we paid about s16
each for distance of about $50 miles
from Baden-Baden TO Paris. The high
charges are mainly due to the extra
room that passengers occupy. AS to
the dining-room car. the meals are bad
and expensive, and the service filthy
and abominable. l was representing
these facts to a Gallicized American
lady this evening. She admitted them
to be true. but said: Il can put up

He took up his quarters at one of the

O'Clock, while he was making merry
with party of friends, two gendarmesz
called at the inn and requested
Abramovics to follow them to the Pre-
lecture. Although AbramOvics ex--

he was taken by the gendarmes to tho
police station. When he arrived there
he was shown a warrant of arrest is
sued against him charging him with
spying. He was told that he would
have to be taken to the Bulgarian
frontier, and that his effects had been
sent on before him. He was put into
a one-horse conveyance, but instead of
being driven to the Bulgarian frontier
he was taken to the intrenchments,
murdered. and robbed of one thousand
five hundred napoleons. On the fol-
lowing morning some peasants found
his body. Information was given to-
the Deputy Project. who forthwith sent
troops to arrest the Lieutenant of gend--

THE PARSONS THANKSGIVING.

She was as fair and neat maid
As could be worth the winning,
The sanity Parson was afraid,
To think OF her was SHINING.
Not one Of these pale lily kind,
OF this weak generation,
For Nature was of generous mind
When planning her creation
A Baldwin apple, ripe and red,
Could not be more inviting
Than her plump cheeks by bushes fed,
Where red and white were fighting.
Her dark eyes had a modest look,
The Parson had oft noted,
When lifted from her praying book,
To which she was devoted
Her voice was sweeter than the rest
He loved her clear tones ringing,
So never sighted request
To give out extra singing.
BE knew all college-learning art,
The penalty for shining,
But how to win maiden's heart
He knew not the beginning.
he ate her biscuits, light and white,
He praised her butter msking,
Yet could not tell her that the sight
OF her his heart set aching.
He spoke OF his poor lonely life,
She said she thought it better.
Or Sallie Smith might be his wife
That is, if he could get her.
And so IL went a year or SO,
She grew more sweet and rosy,
And sadder did the Parson grow,
His sermons still more prosy.
1t was upon Thanksgiving.evs,
A dull night in November,
The maidens came the church to wreath,
As some will long remember.
At last the Parson left alone,
The late hour quite unheeding,
Murmured between a sob and groan:
How ! a wife am needing.
sBut Mary is the one most dear
To me, OF all the living,
And yet can not have her near,
care not for Thanksgiving"
He heard a rustic at the door.
There stood the maiden, saying:
al left my mittens on the floor;
That's why here am staying"
She trembled like frightened deer;
Her face was pale as ashes.
The Parson saw, as he drew her,
Tear-dIops upon her lasher.
HForgive me, sweetest love" he cried;
II would no. give you sorrow"
Then why don't you" came from his side
my fathers daughter borrow?''
No matter what the Parson said,
He thought no more of sorrow;
With eyes upon a dropping head
He preached well on the morrow.
And long before year had flown,
The happiest Of the living,
He had sweet Mary all his own,
And each day was Thanksgiving.

The Arcadia Barbecue.

The good people of Arcadia have reason to
feel proud. The Barbecue on the 4th was a
success all through: in conduct, in numbers,
and in enjoyment. Not less than two thous-
and people from all parts of the county-and
many from abroad-graced the occasion and
filled the spacious park. In all the crowds
that came and went all day long we did not
see single drunken man, but everybody
seemed intent on celebrating this the great

came-big and little, old and young-was
bountiful, and served with system as rare
as pleasant at big gatherings. The barbe-
cued meats were done to a turn, and sweeter,
tenderer joints were never served to guests
anywhere. The cooks knew their duties,
and, knowing them, did them.
The usual attendants - music, games,
swings, etc.-served to employ the time of
the picnicers pleasantly. Even the weather.

At frequent intervals the Pilot Knob Cor

more of them, never graced an old-fashioned
